NEW PRECISION GUIDED HUMOR ASSIGNMENT AT HQ

How should anti-war protesters be punished under American Sharia Law?

American Sharia?

It's all explained at HQ.

NEW BLOG SHOWCASE I

Pepper of the Earth... Hmmm... witty blog name.

5ive Years in Reverse - a reminiscence of several Halloween costumes. All of which are the kind of off-the-wall humor I could never come up with myself, but really admire when I see other people doing it. For example, if you're a guy with long blonde hair, and you dress to bear a passing resemblance to the lead singer of Guns & Roses, and you top off your costume with a mortarboard and tassle, that makes you... wait for it...

Witty, irreverant, quirky... I hope Linus starts entering the Carnival of the Vanities on a regular basis. 

Anyway, there's more costumes in the entry. Go check 'em out.

NEW BLOG SHOWCASE II

I'm voting for Free Market Fairy Tales' entry Europe Hates America because it has one of my very favorite Cox & Forkum cartoons at the very top.

Ok, that's not entirely true. There's also that fact that someone in the UK is saying very nice things about the US, which makes me feel all puffy-chested & prideful. Not to mention very grateful to not be living in one of the many Socialist Worker's Paradises scattered about the globe.

...ok, fine. Truth is, I'm voting for him because he's got a picture of a dollar bill in the entry.

So sue me.

NEW BLOG SHOWCASE III

Fawn, of Indirect Proof offers a level-headed look at the way the media is treating the Rush Limbaugh addiction story. It really made me stop & go "Hmmm... she's right". Which is one of my favorite things to have happen to me when I read something.

Also, there's my favorite line:

the press is still tearing into Rush Limbaugh like starving wolves on a sick buffalo.

Now THAT'S a mental image.

CARNIVAL OF THE VANITIES #61...

...Is up at Peak Talk. My pick o' the litter is this tiny bit from Jay Solo, who ponders about pack-rat-ism. Mostly I like it because I personally think that PRI is a horrible disease. But I've found 2 cures.

The one that worked for me was being in the Navy. For six long years, I had a certain number of cubic feet assigned to me, and I could only keep as many personal possessions as would fit in said space. This got me in the habit of making hard choices about what was important enough to keep, and what could be thrown away.

The other one is that show "Clean Sweep". My wife is a veteran pack rat, as I say in my love note intro every day. But the "sweepers" on the show do an excellent job of teaching pack rats how to ask themselves the questions that will allow them to be able to let go of the object, while still cherishing the memory that's attached. You wouldn't believe how much stuff my wife has, donated, gifted, or simply thrown away since she started watching that show. It's a godsend.

TODAY'S LOVE NOTE

(Introduction)

I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self-respect and it's these things I'd believe in even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn't all she should be... I love her and that's the beginning of everything.

TODAY’S GRAFFITI CURRENCY


Some 40 years later, Bob Dylan learned, much to his surprise, that he was mistaken, and the answer was actually written on a dollar bill.
